Narkose is
Nazar's fourth studio album (or fifth, if you count his 2010 collaboration album with
Raf Camora, Artkore) on which the Austrian rapper showcases his tough, uncompromising lone-wolf persona. Featuring production by O.Z., Gee Futuristic, Joshimixu, and others, the music on Narkose is bombastic, with orchestra, choir, and fanfares complementing mechanical percussion and harsh synths. Guests include
MoTrip ("Nicht mit Mir"),
Sido ("Cool & Ruhig"), Gary Howard ("Hallo Vergangenheit"), and
Manuellsen ("Tristesse"). Narkose, which is also available in a limited edition with four bonus tracks and a T-shirt, entered the Austrian charts at number five and the German charts at number ten. ~ Christian Genzel
